So this is live / official / whatever?

Will it be pushed out in automatic updates now?

Ahh... There it is. I asked Windows to check for updates twice and it didn't see it. Then I rebooted and it was available. Duh

This updated on my laptop just fine last week, but continues to fail on the one desktop with Vista Home Premium. Starts to install and then quits. Error message it gives tells me nothing, but Googling it shows it is some old generic problem with Windows Update people have been seeing for years before Vista existed. Windows Update works, everything else is up to date, and the file for SP1 downloaded... it just won't install. Bang Head

Bought the OEM Vista Premium tonight and it has an SP1 disk taped to the back of it.

Think I can run that disk on my laptop instead of Dling it? (Yes, the Laptop is Vista Premium.)

It installed on Vista Business with only one FUBAR; it took out my Audigy II NX USB sound card/device. I had to use the driver from Creative to get it going again since I didn't need the driver under the original Vista release.... Confused

The service pack actually fixed my sound issues, or at least decreased them remarkably. Creative cards still suck with Vista.

I notice very little difference on Vista Ultimate 32 since I likely had many of the individual updates anyways. Copying files is better, but still slow compared to XP. I still get poor frames in BF2 and BF2142, but that is likely due to poor X-FI and nvidia drivers.
